Welcome to The Funding Formula:
Your Roadmap to Fundraising

I’m Nicole Denholder, founder of NCR, and it’s my mission to make female founders money smart, commercially confident, and funding savvy!

Are you a determined female founder ready to secure your first round of equity investment? But you don’t know where to start in terms of your pitch deck or finding investors or exactly what the process involves?

Fundraising can be a daunting task. From my experience of working with 100s of female founders, I know that many of you face these top 5 challenges which hinder your fundraising efforts:

Where and how to get started in the fundraising process?

How do you prepare a compelling pitch, manage potential rejections, and embrace success in your fundraising journey?

How do you value your business for investment?

Where do you find and connect with the right investors? And how do you communicate with them confidently and effectively?

How can you fundraise efficiently without wasting time and keep your business running?

With The Funding Formula, I will unveil the fundraising process to you. Say goodbye to confusion and overwhelm with our step-by-step program that walks you through the fundraising process and what you need to do, when you need to do it and how. From simplifying the complexities of fundraising to mastering the art of investor communication, we’ve got you covered.

Many successful founders tell me they wish they knew all this before they started! So my goal is to make fundraising simpler, more streamlined and stress-free so you can achieve your business dreams.

Let me tell you about The Funding Formula.

The Funding Formula is a 6-week hybrid course that helps you master the art of securing equity investment. From finding the right investors to crafting winning pitches and navigating the deal process, this step-by-step course combines expert guidance, practical exercises, and interactive sessions to empower you to confidently navigate every stage of the fundraising journey.

Enrol now and unlock the key to securing the investment your business deserves.

FAQ

Is there a refund?

No, as this is a short programme, but we would love you to contact us if circumstances change.

How much time will this take?

As we always say – what you put into it, is what you will get out of it! This course is all about practical guidance and your worksteps, so we generally think you will need up to 3 hours a week to review the material and work through your own materials. (Think about it – that’s only about 2 days over the whole 6 weeks!) But you can always put in more time! And remember, we also have an optional weekly 60 minute live group call.

When do the live Group Sessions take place?

These optional sessions take place every Monday afternoon at 10am CET | 4pm HKT | 6pm AEST via Zoom. But don’t worry if you can’t join them – we will ensure there are plenty of opportunities for you to ask your questions in our Facebook group or private Whatsapp Group should you miss a session.
